When folks talk about Hip Hop.....Although this thread has started out on the right foot so to speak...
I would suggest searching the old Mr. Magic Rap Attack and the Red Alert shows from 107.5 WBLS and 98.7 KISS FM....92 WKTU as well....Look up Harlem World too....( a club from the 80's ) There's a movie from the 80's called "Wildstyle" it explores alot, in particular UA United Artists I.E. "Lee" "Zephyr" etc.... Artists.
New York is the homebase....Yes things have grown (not necessarilly to my liking) but the roots can be found in NYC. Kris Parker a.k.a. KRS One, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, The Sugarhill Gang, The Treachorous 3, Whodini, Kool Herc, Grandmaster Caz, Dougie Fresh and the get fresh Crew, Slick Rick, Kool Moe Dee, Run DMC, Afrika Bambataa, Biz Markie, Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow, etc, etc, etc.....As well look up "The Rock Steady Crew" Crazy Legs.....
